US Forest Service: The Nuts Are in Charge

There's a very serious possibility that another "Sagebrush Rebellion" is in the works in Tombstone, AZ.

First, dehumanize your opponent. Put him at or below the level of animals. Hence, let the town die over an owl. Let fields in California dry up and produce nothing, putting people out of work, because of a fish. Humans are, apparently, easy to discard. They did this to the timber industry remember, with this spotted owl bs. Gaia is more important to them than simple human animals.

What about this isn't black and white? The Feds are putting an owl...a stupid friggin' owl...above the needs of the people of Tombstone.

It's bulls*** and you know it.

It's always amazing how liberals will march in protest against corporations (which, at least, provide their employees with income) and whine "People first!" but the second you ask about an animal, "People first!" goes right out the window.

What if the loss of the owl does irreversible damage to the eco-system? Maybe the spotted owl is keeping Tombstone from being overrun by rats or other rodents. Maybe those rodents carry plague or rabies.

Maybe in the long-term, preserving the spotted owl now will protect the human population later.

Or it could be a matter of black or white, right? Unless you're a liberal.

Nevermind of course that this is only to lay water line. So they will need a corridor that is what, 50 ft wide?

Friggin' morons. The owls will be just fine.

Side note - did anyone see 60 Minutes last night where they highlighted the game ranches in Texas that have save some African species from extinction through sport hunting, but the ninnies don't think it is good enough?
